Ar-Ra'd 13:34

<h2>Punishment of the Disbelievers and Reward of the Pious Believers</h2><p>Here, Allah mentions the punishment of the disbelievers and the reward of the righteous believers, after describing the Kufr and Shirk that the disbelievers indulge in,</p><p>لَّهُمْ عَذَابٌ فِى الْحَيَوةِ الدُّنْيَا</p><p>(For them is a torment in the life of this world,) by the hands of the believers, killing and capturing them,</p><p>وَلَعَذَابُ الاٌّخِرَةِ</p><p>(and certainly, the torment of the Hereafter.) which will come after they suffer humiliation in this life,</p><p>أَشُقَّ</p><p>(is harder) many times harder. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to those who agreed to Mula`anah,</p><p>«إِنَّ عَذَابَ الدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْآخِرَة»</p><p>(Surely, the torment of this life, is easier than the torment of the Hereafter.) Indeed, and just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stated, the torment of this life ends but the torment of the Hereafter is everlasting in a Fire that is seventy times hot than our fire, where there are chains whose thickness and hardness are unimaginable. Allah said in other Ayat,</p><p>فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لاَّ يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ - وَلاَ يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ</p><p>(So on that Day none will punish as He will punish. And none will bind as He will bind.)89:25-26, and,</p><p>بَلْ كَذَّبُواْ بِالسَّاعَةِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيراً - إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ مِّن …

For them is torment in the life of the world, and verily the doom of the Hereafter is more painful, and they have no defender from Allah.

For them is a penalty in the life of this world, but harder, truly, is the penalty of the Hereafter: and defender have they none against Allah.

For them is a torment in the life of this world, and certainly, harder is the torment of the Hereafter. And they have no protector against Allah.

There is for them torment in the worldly life, but the torment of the Hereafter is harsher. And they have no defender against God.
